Southern Methodist University point guard Nic Moore would be in summer practices right now with former Kansas coach Larry Brown getting better for next season.
Instead, Moore is on Kansas' upcoming University World Games roster. Bill Self wanted the 2015 American Athletic Conference Player of the Year to join the team, and Brown agreed to loan his player out. Moore averaged 14.5 points, 5.1 assists and 1.3 steals a game last season at SMU.
"It's an honor to be around the Kansas locker room, Coach Self and the tradition here — to be a part of it," Moore said.
Moore said he sees himself as a leader out on the floor, even though
he's only been here since Friday.
He sees Self as a similar image to both Brown and current SMU associate head coach Tim Jankovich.
"I like the way [Self] coaches, fast-tempo," Moore said. "What he says is second nature to me, because it's what I hear everyday from Coach Brown and Coach Janks."
Senior Perry Ellis said he sees practice going well, with the new guys getting to know the system quickly. Ellis added Moore is already vocal while on the court, even though Moore has practiced with the team just once since arriving in Lawrence.

"He moves the ball real well and he can score as well," Ellis said. "The vocal he has is a huge addition to us." Moore adds depth at the point guard spot, standing at 5-foot-9.
situations and how we can play with that," Ellis added.
The first action for the team is right around the corner, starting next Tuesday with the first of two exhibition games at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., against Team Canada. Moore can begin to learn what the current Kansas team and coaches want out of him so he can bring what he has to offer to the table.
"Overall, practice has been going smooth and everybody is competing," Ellis said.
Kansas will continue practicing this week, while holding the second session of Self's basketball camp. Campers will be able to see Moore and the team practice during a scrimmage on Wednesday.
